I'm gonna say no. Do they even sell "mini ribbons"?

I'm curious, if someone can clarify, do we wear ribbons (for which there are no corresponding medals) with mini-medals?
To answer your question, no: http://www.npc.navy.mil/CommandSupp...tions/Chapter3/MaleOfficer/MaleOfficerFormal/
However, its about time all of you were exposed to this: http://www.npc.navy.mil/CommandSupport/USNavyUniforms/UniformRegulations/

Yes, they do. I purchased one yesterday which I have a feeling will never ever be worn. I guess its for the formal dinner mess uniforms.
Sorry, its a mini-medal. Kinda cute, really.I have never, ever seen anyone wear a "mini-ribbon," unless you mean those individual lapel pins/tie tacks. Got a picture/web link?
Boom,
The miniature medals are easy to mount. I just went over to the base while I was there for drill a few weekends ago and bought the miniature medal rack (as well as medals and attachments) that corresponded to the number of medals I have. THAT will show you exactly how they are mounted.
Also, unless your unit drills in them, do not purchase the new working uniforms until you absolutely must.
It hurt, but it was still the most satisfying $775 I've ever spent.![]()
my normal BDU's are ratty from my days at the Academy.
For those who wonder how much they're going to initially spend on uniforms. Here's some info. I purchased uniforms yesterday (female uniforms, but most everything is similarly priced). I purchased the following:
1 Service Dress Blue (Shirt, Jacket, Pants, Hat, Devices)
2 Khaki's (Pants, Shirt, Garrison Cap, Devices)
1 Black Eisenhower Jacket (Goes with the Khaki's w/shoulder devices)
1 PT (Shorts and Shirt only, no sweats)
1 Black Bates Shoes
Plus Tailoring for the Pants and SDB Jacket and pressing for all
Total: $775
I was told not to purchase the Dress Whites until absolutely needed (if you don't use them at DCO school, then the chances of needing them as a reservist are slim. You very well might change rank before you need them the first time.) But anticipate about $300 for those. And I didn't get the pants for summer whites yet ~$40.

Cargodog,
Not entirely sure how you managed to pull off only spending that much but kudos to you. I just picked up the SDB's and all accoutrements in addition to a pair of shoes and managed to spend $800 almost on the nose. Doh.
Did you pick up the Brooks Brothers edition or the regulars? I was told (and sorta talked into) buying the BB version so maybe therein lies the discrepancy?
